R22 vs Western Sydney Wanderers | Sat 10 March | 9:50pm | SS4

So apparently the season isn't over yet. Fire up or whatever.

Set ourselves alight in flames, fire birds.

#COYN

Do we have to?

god I hope we don't lose embarrassingly.

Should be interesting what side is selected.

A loss will all but end our final hopes.

What final hopes?

Your hopes are finally extinguished. Those hopes.

Greenie's got a really good head on him. 

Expect to see a few sensible adjustments and for once, for there to be a plan

Does Ross Taylor play football?

Can someone in Sydney please rip a flare and throw it on the pitch and get these fudgeers the 3pt deduction they deserve! We will start a Give A Little page to pay for your fine. Honest!

Hopefully they play the most fantastic football, like ever, we deserve this.

At the very least, there'll be a bunch of them playing for contracts!

they have been doing that all season though, why would it change now?

Hopefully we will see AK dropped, considering he almost certainly won't be here next season and has only scored one goal in the last 12 games. Would much prefer to see Burns and Krishna play two up top or a front three of Burns - Ljujic/Patterson - Krishna. Still want Singh to start at attacking mid, Paracki and Ridenton to be the holding pair. Back four of Doyle - Fox - Durante - Mullen

Rossi and McGlinchey's roles will be interesting to see.

They should play for the fans, coahces come and go.

If anyone deserves to be on the bench I think it was Burns after that last game. At least AK was trying.

I'd like to see AK stay - he's been unlucky of late not to have the service he had early on.

well AK and Monty Paterson have been ommited from the squad for this game

Greenie must be listening:

Andrija Kaludjerovic and Monty Patterson omitted from Phoenix squad to play WSW on Saturday night. #ALeague

He's borked apparently. I reckon he's been borked all year.

Here's to you, Monty Patterson, I hardly knew ye.

I agree with that.  I watched one game live this year (big win v Perth) and he was good.  I think he has some limitations but he's a good solid A League target man.  

So why no Patterson... injured or not rated?

This season has been so crap I just find it so hard to even know what to care about now, i seem to go from one feeling of disappointment to the next.

Two to be ommitted

Worst news there is that Mullen is gone.

In-ter-es-ting... who will be omitted I wonder. Italiano>Smith

Does this mean AK and Monty are gone for good you think?

Parkhouse? Groan.

Surely Flappy stays in goal?

I thought Flappy was actually pretty good when he played. We've set a very low bar for keepers this season; but he's far better than our other 2 options.

Low bars are easier to defend

agree - don't know why he gets lambasted on here

I'd like to see Rossi and Fox as our starting CB's please. Maybe Rossi will give a fudge again with Greenie back in charge.

Rossi is in the squad - I wonder what Greenie knows that we do not.
